The Soul Sage guard, seeing that Bibi Dong was not angry, slowly retreated to the side, his face serious as he looked at the kneeling Branch Hall Master Wang Xing.
As for Bibi Dong, perhaps because she was in a relatively good mood today, and also because Yu Xiaogang was not around, she wanted to take the opportunity to improve the reputation of the Spirit Hall.
As long as Yu Xiaogang was not by her side, Bibi Dong's infatuation would subside, and her unparalleled intelligence would once again take the high ground.
Thus, Bibi Dong did not mind helping them, further shaping her benevolent image.
Then, Bibi Dong slowly spoke.
"Branch Hall Master Wang Xing, tell me everything you need to say in detail. Rest assured, as long as it is confirmed that they are evil spirit masters, I will not let these fallen individuals off easily!
Since I took over the position of Pope, I have sworn that I will completely eradicate evil spirit masters from the continent, restoring peace and order!"
Hearing this, Branch Hall Master Wang Xing and the people around him all showed expressions of excitement.
After all, what they were about to report was not just any ordinary evil spirit master, but a Cardinal.
Then, Wang Xing spoke up.
"Your Holiness, my daughter was killed by Yu Xiaogang. I beg Your Holiness to seek justice for my daughter!"
Hearing this, Bibi Dong's originally majestic expression instantly darkened.
A sense of foreboding rose uncontrollably in her heart.
Before Wang Xing could continue, Bibi Dong's cold voice rang out.
"The Yu Xiaogang you speak of, is he Cardinal Yu Xiaogang?!"
Wang Xing, too excited, did not notice the change in Bibi Dong's tone and continued speaking.
"Yes, Your Holiness. The evil spirit master I am here to report is none other than the Cardinal of the Spirit Hall's Pope's Hall, Yu Xiaogang! When Yu Xiaogang was hunting spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, he became infatuated with my daughter's beauty and tried to force himself on her.
My daughter refused to submit and chose to commit suicide rather than yield to Yu Xiaogang. As a result, not only did my daughter die, but her blood and spirit power were also completely drained by Cardinal Yu Xiaogang!
When my daughter's body was returned, she was emaciated, barely recognizable as human. I beg Your Holiness to seek justice for us!"
As Wang Xing spoke, Bibi Dong's expression grew even darker.
She immediately turned hostile, her face filled with anger as she roared.
"Nonsense! Yu Xiaogang is a Cardinal personally appointed by me. His intelligence is unparalleled, rare in the world, and his status within the Spirit Hall is comparable to that of a Title Douluo elder. How could he possibly be an evil spirit master?
If he wanted women, countless people within the Spirit Hall would line up to be chosen by him. How could he possibly covet the beauty of your mere Soul Sage daughter?!
Speak! What is your ulterior motive for slandering a loyal servant of the Spirit Hall? If you cannot provide a satisfactory explanation today, you will return with me to Spirit City, where I will thoroughly interrogate you!"
Seeing Bibi Dong's anger, Wang Xing's expression immediately changed.
A sense of unease rose in his heart.
However, there was no turning back now.
Thus, he endured Bibi Dong's oppressive aura and began to recount everything.
It turned out that when Yu Xiaogang had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his fifth spirit ring, he had encountered the daughter of Branch Hall Master Wang Xing, who was also there to obtain her fourth spirit ring.
Wang Xing's daughter, Wang Lingling, was twenty years old and not particularly talented.
But she had the potential to become a Soul Sage in the future.
Having grown up under Wang Xing's doting care, she was like a little princess!
Though not as exceptional as Ning Rongrong, she was still better off than ninety percent of people.
After encountering Cardinal Yu Xiaogang in the Star Dou Great Forest, Yu Xiaogang, relying on his status as a Cardinal, offered to help Wang Lingling hunt for her spirit ring.
Wang Lingling, seeing the famous Cardinal willing to help her, naturally agreed readily.
To get closer, Wang Lingling temporarily acted as Yu Xiaogang's maid.
She displayed her youthful beauty perfectly in front of Yu Xiaogang.
Wang Lingling's youthful charm directly ignited the desires Yu Xiaogang had suppressed for over half a year.
Such beauty, if destroyed, would surely be a sight to behold...
Later, one night, Yu Xiaogang, using his status, barged into Wang Lingling's tent, intending to force himself on her.
Wang Lingling's personal guards tried to stop him but were blocked by Yu Xiaogang's guards.
Finally, with a scream from Yu Xiaogang.
Wang Lingling committed suicide.
If Yu Xiaogang had taken his time, winning over Wang Lingling would not have been a problem. After all, his status as a Cardinal, holding a high position, was not something a mere Soul Sage Branch Hall Master could compare to!
To win over Wang Lingling, he only needed to use a combination of threats and incentives, alternating between the stick and the carrot. Perhaps in a few days, Wang Lingling, for the sake of her father, would have naturally chosen to comply with Yu Xiaogang.
After all, as the daughter of a Spirit Hall Branch Hall Master, although usually naive and romantic, Wang Lingling was also aware of some of the underhanded dealings and had a decent capacity to accept such things.
But Yu Xiaogang's mistake was being too impatient.
He gave Wang Lingling no time to rationalize or persuade herself.
He directly tried to force himself on her, and the unprepared Wang Lingling naturally resisted fiercely.
In the end, this tragedy occurred.
After Wang Lingling's death, it was not until the next morning that her guards were able to retrieve her body.
However, when they retrieved her body.
Wang Lingling's once beautiful figure was completely drained of blood.
As if someone had sucked her dry, she was emaciated, a horrifying sight...
Finally, Yu Xiaogang even tried to silence them.
Fortunately, Wang Lingling's guards knew the matter had escalated, and Yu Xiaogang would not let them off easily. Thus, they had an agility-type spirit master flee at full speed while the others held off Yu Xiaogang's men, ensuring the matter would not be buried.
In the end, Wang Lingling's body was brought back to the Spirit Hall branch.
After learning everything, Branch Hall Master Wang Xing locked himself in his room for several days.
At that time, he could not accept this reality.
Finally, considering Yu Xiaogang's lofty status, something a mere Branch Hall Master could not afford to offend, he decided to report directly to Bibi Dong and let her decide the matter!
Thus, today's events unfolded...
After Wang Xing finished recounting the entire process, the scene fell silent.
Everyone instinctively turned their gaze to Bibi Dong, the Pope.
They were responsible for Bibi Dong's security and had been by her side for years.
Thus, they naturally knew how important Cardinal Yu Xiaogang was to Bibi Dong.
For Yu Xiaogang, Pope Bibi Dong had made many exceptions and given numerous conveniences.
